If it’s not on my phone calendar, it doesn’t exist. I put it in as soon as I’m making it, even putting my phone on speaker or using headphones if I have to call (yuck). I have calendars for work, personal, dogs, family, my preschooler, and just reminders. Dress up day for school? Calendar. Appointment? Calendar. Lesson/practice/sport? Calendar. Dog medicine? Calendar. Meeting friends for lunch? Calendar.

Which we do. But it’s not our first choice

Right. They could basically name their price. We want to do stuff the “right” way. There’s just no way.

Our struggle has been the enshittifcation of streaming the games. We don’t live in the market of our hockey team we like to watch. In order to actually get (legally) 95% of the games we would need to subscribe to about 5 different services and still be blacked out for the games against the “local” team, which is 4 hours away from us, unless we also pay for cable/satellite television as well. We used to legitimately pay for the service that the NHL offered where we could get just our team, or all of the games, for one season price. Then they split everything to all the different networks so now we’d need sling, TNT, espn+ (and the highest tier of it), nhl network, prime, Apple TV +, and a cable subscription

I’ve known several kids in upper elementary school who have a diagnosis but their parents won’t tell them or get them school accommodations or services. It’s just setting them up for failure.

When I was young we had our kitten pass away because he ate Halloween decoration webs and they got wrapped around his intestines.

The model we have (that’s only a few years old) works like this. My favorite is when it’s trying to get back to the dock, it’ll just move aimlessly until it accidentally reaches the vicinity of it and can make it home. A lot of times it runs out of battery. Or gets stuck somewhere (in the same spots because I can’t tell it to avoid problem areas).
